<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ZoidMeister, post: 5214347, member: 114169&quot;]Okay, this one finally came in. I know absolutely <b>NOTHING</b> about these large bronze medals. I bought this because I loved the intricacy of the design, and because of its connection to the Chicago Columbus Exposition.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Does anyone know of a good online research resource for historical bronze medals? I didn&#039;t see this one listed in the &quot;so-called dollars&quot; references that I have. I think it is a bit too large to qualify. </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, it came in late yesterday. Here is my latest acquisition. It measures 50.5mm and weighs in at 47.0 grams.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>1893 World&#039;s Columbian Expo / Christopher Columbus Bronze</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1215773[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1215774[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And while we are talking about monster brass medals, consider this behemoth recent addition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Measuring a full 63mm and tipping the scales at 108.0 grams, is my latest . . . . . .</p><p><br /></p><p>Z</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>1925 American Legion School Award</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1215775[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1215776[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1215777[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Needless to say, I never got one of THESE while I was in school . . . . .</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
